Museums such as the MoMA or the Met are not the only THE SPOT for the art lovers. New York City is one of the art-centric metropolises around the world for art admirer. Contemporary art galleries are heavily focused in Chelsea: a cute area with a great view of New Jersey and the Hudson River. Of course, I cannot cover every single galleries located in Chelsea, but will give you a little bit of guide for those of you who have a specific artist they love. Don’t you worry about your hard-earned money! These galleries are free to enter! It’s just expensive to buy the artwork. Also, the galleries are located very close to each other, so you do not have to worry about spending time for traveling.
The first gallery is Barbara Gladstone Gallery. It has two locations: 515 W. 24th St and 530 W. 21st St. It is also chosen to be one of the top galleries to visit! The first gallery is currently showing Magnus Plessen’s paintings (from February 15 to March 15) while the second gallery is currently closed as it just finished its exhibition.
The second gallery is David Zwirner Gallery. The first gallery showing is Adel Abdessemed’s “Who’s Afraid Of The Big Bad Wolf” from February 17 to March 17 and the second showing is Fred Sandback’s “Decades” from March 9 to April 21. David Zwirner Gallery’s showings focus on sculpture rather than paintings or drawings so you may check it out for a fresh new take on art if you are into Art History.
Third gallery is Gagosian Galleries (which is one of my favorite). There are three locations (one on Madison Avenue and two on Chelsea). The West 24th St gallery is showing Roy Lichtenstein’s “Landscapes In The Chinese Style” which I highly recommend to go see (showing from March 1 to April 7). The West 21st Street gallery is showing Georg Baselitz from February 28 to April 7.
These are some of the galleries located in Chelsea. If you want to explore on your own, you can Google search for Chelsea Galleries or check out New York Magazine’s website here or the Chelsea Gallery Map.
